The Aurora Borealis, also known as northern lights, are natural light displays that usually occur between September-October and March-April. The term originated from “Aurora,” the Roman goddess of dawn, and “Boreas,” the Greek term for north wind - this can only be seen in the northern hemisphere although it has a southern counterpart (aurora australis).

I don’t really know what causes these, but I think that the lights the event produces have got to be one of the most beautiful things in this world. I’ve never actually seen it, but even pictures leave me breathless;  what more the real thing? It’s like God took a paintbrush and combined different colors to create a stunning painting with the sky as His canvas.
